Rutgers 250, Ramapo, Moreton and KC-146 Tomato Seeds
T
he Rediscover the Jersey Tomato project is bringing back tomatoes with the delicious tangy old time Jersey tomato flavor that New Jersey farmers grew from the 1930s – 70s. In 2016 we introduced the ‘Rutgers 250’ tomato and now offer
four varieties, each with distinctive qualities, for home gardeners to reproduce that memorable taste.
These tomato varieties were developed through non-transgenic (non-GMO) breeding.
Please allow 2 1/2 - 3 weeks turnaround time to receive your order.
l Rutgers 250 tomato is the new result from crossing the same parent
varieties as the original ‘Rutgers’ tomato that was released by Rutgers New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) in 1934. ‘Rutgers 250’ was selected for high
fruit quality and flavor and was named in honor of the University’s 250th anniversary.
Mid-season maturity. Firm, crack-resistant fruit; high flavor, uniform color. Semi-determinate plants; best if staked. “Rutgers 250’ was not bred specifically for disease resistance, but
in trials has shown good resistance to bacterial spot and bacterial speck. Open-pollinated.
l Ramapo F1 Hybrid tomato was developed at Rutgers NJAES and released
in 1968. It was prized by gardeners for its great flavor, fruit quality, reliability, and
productivity. While Ramapo seed was unavailable for many years, Rutgers NJAES
continued receiving requests for this popular tomato and eventually reintroduced
Ramapo F-1 seeds in 2008.
Mid to late season; resistant to cracking and Verticillium and Fusarium wilt. Semi-determinate plants approximately 80 days to maturity. Medium - large sized fruit. Feedback from a
gardener survey indicates that Ramapo tomato grows well in a variety of US regions.
l Moreton F1 Hybrid tomato was Harris Seeds’ first F-1 hybrid, released in 1953
and one of the first hybrids grown by Jersey tomato growers. This early maturing, tasty variety was off the market and re-introduced in a cooperative effort by
Harris and Rutgers. Moreton makes a good earlier maturing garden companion
to Rutgers 250, Ramapo and KC-146.
Early season, resistant to Verticillium. Indeterminate plants mature in 70 days. Medium
- large sized fruit. A heavy feeder on less fertile soil. Treated seed. Favorite in extreme
climates with short growing seasons.
l KC-146 tomato (also known as Campbell’s 146) was developed by Campbell’s Soup Company as a processing
tomato and released in 1956. This variety was wilt and crack-resistant and better flavored than other processing
types. It was eventually replaced with newer varieties with a more disease resistance. Campbell’s maintained the
KC-146 stock as a flavor standard. We agree, this is one tasty tomato!
Mid to late season; resistant to Fusarium wilt, semi-determinate plants; 78 days to maturity; medium-large sized fruit. Even
though it is a processing variety, it has incredible flavor as a fresh tomato. Open-pollinated.
